2010 JEEP COMMANDER — Complaint #1558160
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL filed April 15, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558160 (ODI reference 11196515) concerns a 2010 JEEP COMMANDER and was filed on April 15, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 1, 2019. The vehicle had 120,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as vehicle speed control, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP COMMANDER cohort independently describe similar vehicle speed control failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 JEEP COMMANDER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
